What is the M.A.R.K.O. LID made of?

The M.A.R.K.O. LID is a multi-layered, anatomically accurate 3D‑printed eyelid model created on a Stratasys J850 PolyJet system. It features 23 distinct anatomical structures, high surface texture, and full-color realism, based on up to 50 blended material combinations.

Where are the models developed and produced?

Both the M.A.R.K.O. LID and the KANTHO LID are developed and produced in Austria by Addion and eyecre.at. All models are created in close collaboration with leading experts in oculoplastic surgery and anatomical research, ensuring high medical relevance and production quality.

Who are these eyelid models intended for?

Both the M.A.R.K.O. and KANTHO LID are designed for medical professionals, surgical trainees, students, researchers, and product developers in ophthalmology, plastic surgery, medical education, and MedTech.

How should I store and handle the models?

Keep the models at room temperature for optimal realism. Cold temperatures can harden the material, and direct sunlight should be avoided due to the photoreactive components. For extended use and preservation, we recommend storing the eyelid models in a sealed container or plastic bag with a slightly moistened surface to maintain material flexibility. Both models are non-sterile and not for human use – for demonstration and training only.

Are the models reusable?

Yes. Both models are designed for repeated use under proper handling conditions. The M.A.R.K.O. LID, with its detailed anatomy, is particularly suited for advanced simulation and teaching settings. The KANTHO LID is durable for repeated canthoplasty training sessions.

Can I request a customized version of the model?

Yes. We offer custom adaptations of both the M.A.R.K.O. LID and the KANTHO LID for specific training scenarios, research setups, or product demonstrations. Whether you need adjustments in anatomy, material properties, or integration into a larger system – get in touch, and we’ll be happy to explore custom solutions with you.
